Re: Non UNO Mac Editor... Anyone?



Mark,

Have you also posted this to the FCB Yahoo group? Lots of UNO users
AND non-UNO users over there. iFCB works just fine on the Mac, but
yes, you will need to update your firmware as you already know. And
the upgrade is definitely cheaper than a new FCB or Gordius.

I don't use the UNO chip, so I'm not sure about any native Mac editors
for use with it...but as I said, the FCB group should have the
information.

Good luck!

Dennis
